BOT TILTS TOWARDS LONGER-TERM BONDS AFTER 25-YEAR ISSUE DRAWS STRONG DEMAND

Dar es Salaam, 29 September 2025 – The Bank of Tanzania (BoT) is adjusting its debt strategy by focusing more on longer-term government securities after last week’s 25-year Treasury bond attracted far more bids than expected.

In the auction, investors tendered bids totaling TSh 980 billion, while only TSh 264.3 billion was on offer—leaving the auction oversubscribed by over TSh 700 billion.

---

BoT’s Strategy Shift

BoT plans to reopen the 10-year Treasury bond this Wednesday instead of the originally scheduled 2-year bond. Analysts say this reflects the central bank’s efforts to extend the maturity profile of government debt while meeting investor demand.

• The 25-year bond issued last week carried a 13.75% coupon, down from 15% for the same tenor six weeks ago.
• Despite the lower rate, investor demand remained strong.
• The weighted average yield settled at 13.19%, a drop of around 60 basis points from the previous auction.

What Analysts Say

Geofrey Kamugisha, Head of Business Development and Customer Service at Alpha Capital, commented:

“Despite the aggressive rate cut, investor interest was overwhelming. It shows that investors are keen to lock in longer-term positions, possibly expecting interest rates to continue falling.”

VODACOM TANZANIA FOUNDATION NA JKCI WASHIRIKIANA KUPANUA HUDUMA ZA MOYO KWA WATOTO

Naizihijwa Majani (kulia), mara baada ya kusaini makubaliano ya ushirikiano yenye lengo la kuongeza nguvu katika mapambano dhidi ya magonjwa ya moyo kwa watoto nchini. Kupitia makubaliano haya, Vodacom itachangia asilimia 30 ya gharama za matibabu huku asilimia 70 zikigharamiwa na Serikali. Tukio hilo lilishuhudiwa na Mkurugenzi wa Uhusiano na Mawasiliano wa kampuni hiyo, ambaye pia ni Mkurugenzi wa Vodacom Tanzania Foundation, Zuweina Farah, pamoja na Mkurugenzi Mtendaji wa Taasisi ya Moyo ya Jakaya Kikwete (JKCI), Dkt. Peter Kisenge.

Dar es Salaam, 29 Septemba 2025 – Vodacom Tanzania kupitia asasi yake ya kijamii imeingia makubaliano ya ushirikiano na Heart Team Africa Foundation, taasisi inayofanya kazi chini ya Taasisi ya Moyo ya Jakaya Kikwete (JKCI), katika juhudi za kuongeza nguvu kwenye mapambano dhidi ya magonjwa ya moyo kwa watoto nchini. Hafla ya utiaji saini imefanyika sambamba na Siku ya Moyo Duniani 2025, chini ya kaulimbiu “Don’t Miss a Beat”, ikisisitiza umuhimu wa kuchukua hatua mapema na kuzingatia mtindo bora wa maisha kwa afya ya moyo.

Changamoto za Maradhi ya Moyo kwa Watoto

Kwa mujibu wa utafiti uliofanywa na Hospitali ya Taifa Muhimbili:

• Watoto 2 kati ya kila 100 huzaliwa na ugonjwa wa moyo (Congenital Heart Disease – CHD).
• Asilimia 3 ya watoto wenye umri wa miaka 5–15 huathirika na Ugonjwa wa Moyo wa Rheumatic (RHD), hali inayoweza kuzuilika kwa matibabu ya mapema ya maambukizi ya koo.
• Zaidi ya watoto 4,000 huhitaji upasuaji kila mwaka, huku JKCI ikikabiliwa na orodha ya zaidi ya watoto 350 wanaosubiri huduma hiyo.

Serikali hufadhili takribani asilimia 70 ya gharama za matibabu, lakini familia nyingi hupata changamoto kubwa kufanikisha asilimia 30 inayobaki.

Kauli za Viongozi

Mkurugenzi Mtendaji wa JKCI, Dkt. Peter Kisenge, alisema:

“Kila takwimu inawakilisha mtoto mwenye ndoto na mzazi mwenye matumaini. Ushirikiano huu utatusaidia kupunguza pengo kati ya uhitaji na upatikanaji wa huduma, ili kuhakikisha watoto wengi zaidi wanaishi maisha yenye afya njema.”

COLLABORATION IN ACTION: TRA’S APPROACH TO ENDING ILLICIT ALCOHOL IN TANZANIA

Illicit alcohol is one of Tanzania’s most pressing public health and economic challenges. Beyond the tragic loss of lives caused by toxic brews, the shadow market drains government revenues, undermines legitimate businesses, and fuels unsafe consumption. This is not only a tax issue—it is a national concern that demands collective action from government, industry, civil society, and consumers alike.

The Scale of the Problem

Research shows that up to 86% of all alcohol consumed in Tanzania comes from informal, largely unregulated sources. This highlights the vast volume of untaxed supply flowing outside regulatory oversight.

The fiscal cost is equally severe: government officials estimate that more than TZS 1.7 trillion is lost every year in uncollected excise revenues from sectors such as alcohol and cigarettes—funds that could support health, education, and enforcement. The human cost is no less alarming, with regulators repeatedly warning about “high-risk” alcohol circulating on the market, often linked to methanol poisoning that can cause blindness or even death.

From Policy to Practice: Technology as a Game-Changer

Tanzania Revenue Authority (TRA) has responded with modern enforcement systems anchored in Electronic Tax Stamps (ETS) and product authentication tools. 

These deliver:

• End-to-end traceability from production to point-of-sale
• Instant consumer verification through the Hakiki Stempu mobile app
• Real-time data for enforcement teams to identify non-compliance and illicit hotspots

The session aimed to equip business leaders and traders with knowledge and efficiency to help them make informed decisions on foreign currency transactions and investments. NBC Bank was the main sponsor of the forum.

Dar es Salaam, September 22, 2025 – The National Bank of Commerce (NBC) has provided special training to business leaders and traders from Tanzania and South Africa on foreign exchange markets as well as the general economic outlook in Tanzania. The initiative aimed at equipping traders with knowledge and efficiency to help them make informed decisions regarding foreign currency purchases and investments.

Speaking during the South Africa Business Forum (SABF) in Tanzania held in Dar es Salaam recently, NBC’s Head of Foreign Exchange Markets, Ms. Juliana Mwapachu, who delivered a presentation on the state of the foreign exchange market in Tanzania, said a deeper understanding of forex markets will greatly help business leaders and traders avoid losses they often incur when transacting without considering various economic indicators.

“This is part of our ongoing efforts as a leading bank serving cross-border traders between Tanzania and South Africa. We continue to deliver different economic and business topics to build their awareness and support them in running their businesses in a way that is more aligned with financial institutions and regulatory bodies, so they don’t face challenges that could disrupt their operations,” she said.

In her presentation, Ms. Mwapachu elaborated on Tanzania’s 2025 economic performance and projections for 2026. She emphasized that with sufficient understanding of foreign exchange dynamics, traders will be better positioned to decide the right timing and methods for buying and exchanging currencies at favorable rates, minimizing losses from exchange rate fluctuations.

She further added that, beyond foreign exchange services, NBC is committed to supporting cross-border traders with professional advisory services, particularly when doing business outside Tanzania, including South Africa.

On his part, SABF Chairman, Mr. Manish Thakrar, underscored the importance of the training, saying it will greatly benefit traders who often deal with foreign currencies when importing goods.

“This knowledge is extremely valuable, especially at a time when the value of the US dollar has dropped by nearly TSh200. Traders can now understand that this is the right time to import or export goods, a move that will further stimulate business and strengthen our economy,” he said.
